Well, it is pretty easy to analyze this game.  We led in almost all categories--rebounding, turnovers, FG%, free throws, etc. EXCEPT for one--they made 17 treys and we made 4.  They shot 43% of their treys and we shot 17%.  If it were not for that, the game would have been the blowout it looked like it was going to be when we were up by 21 in the mid 3rd quarter.

Give CBU credit.  Once Tara solved their zone and Fingall and Belibi started getting the High-Low passes for layup after layup, CBU clogged the paint and dared us to do what they were doing--make threes.  We didn't.  In fact, we were 0/6 on three point shots in the fourth quarter. 

Given this game and Gonzaga, I think our youth and inexperience is showing a bit.  Although it was very nice to see Fingall have a great game--18 points in only 14 minutes.  It is pretty clear that she is on some sort of time limit.

Williams again was a second half scorer--5 in the first and 10 in the second.  Partly because of the free throw shooting she had to do at the end.   Lexie and Belibi were our 3rd and 4th double digit scorers. 

Here is a VERY interesting stat.  Anna Wilson led the team in +/- by quite a margin, even though she scored only 3 points.  Prechtel and Lacey led in negative territory. 

Basically, we need to make more threes and we need to defend both the perimeter and the drives better.  Syracuse did not look like a juggernaut today, but we did not look like one either.  If we don't play better, we will lose tomorrow.

And then there is the very concerning news that something is wrong with Carrington. She hasn't been herself all year after missing the whole summer of practice. And now she was "not available." Without her playing at a high level we are going to have trouble against elite teams.
